This looks wonderful! Just wondering what’s the advantage of sprinkling the toasted chopped chiles instead of mixing them into the syrup before spooning it over the sweet potatoes. Do they have better texture that way?

Are the Chile De Arbol spicy hot? I would like to make this but my wife (who is of Mexican and Spanish decent!) has problems with hot chilies making her have a coughing attack. Mildly hot chilies are OK with her.
Thank you!

I usually use a box grater when I grate the piloncillo. You can also use a very sharp knife, but i prefer the support that the box grater gives while grating.

Well depends for what. But in general I can say that I do prefer the taste of piloncillo. There are some baked things that work better with brown sugar though. But as for flavor, YES!

ItÂ´s been years since I tried piloncillo and canÂ´t quite remember if I liked it or not hehehe, but I will try this recipe tomorrow cause IÂ´ve been craving sweet potatoes for a long time and found your recipe extremely tempting
Thanks a lot, IÂ´m new in your site and IÂ´m really liking all the recipes!!!

I added in the zest from the orange and lime. They sounded so good I shared the recipe with friends in Palo Alto and Boston…rave reviews came in this morning. I bet these will be on the table menu again next year.
